About this map

Twin Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Idaho County, where a complex network of drainages defines the wilderness character of the terrain. The topography is dominated by the long stretch of Pettibone Ridge in the northwest, which serves as a divide for the headwaters of Pettibone Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's intricate hydrological system, including the significant western flow of Bear Creek and the southern reaches of Paradise Creek.

The presence of numerous named tributaries such as Eben Creek, Squaw Creek, and Wahoo Creek suggests a well-watered environment critical to the local geography. Toward the bottom of the map, Cub Creek meanders through the lower elevations, illustrating the natural water shed patterns of the Clearwater National Forest region. This map provides a clear view of the topographical features that have historically influenced movement and navigation through this part of the Idaho backcountry.
